would it be workable for a heating tube if i put a hole in the top near an edge where the heater is mounted?

I'm unsure as to what a hearing tube is as I've only seen the submerged heaters. The tank is extremely small. My betta grew too big for it when he hit full size. I just recently purchased the Tetra 3 gallon cube and I'm very happy with it. It uses the same pump, but there's room for a heater & my betta can swim around more freely. He'd gotten to a size which barely permitted him to move in the hexagon. Although, I'd added a silk plant for him to hide in. I was very happy with the hexagon though. It was easy to clean once I found a cup to fit. The only issue I had was the suction cups on the pump kept coming loose. You have to get just the right suction in order for it to stay. Took a few days and does periodically come loose. I'd say that's a downfall of any pump attached by suction cups though. The bubbler LED was too powerful for my betta, however, so if that is your selling point, I would consider the 1.5 gallon Tetra Cube as it is not the best. Hope this helps :)

There are two openings on the top so no need to make one. The first is about 2x2 square and the other is a hexagon about the size of a fifty cent coin. We found a heater made for small tanks that is about the size of a lighter that we are considering. Hope this helps.

No because a heater would make the water too hot since it is a 1 gallon tank. The fish would be unhealthy.

Should work quite well, but leave a window cracked for ventilation. A few additional concerns: When picking up the Heater by the handle, BE CAREFUL NOT to accidentally place your thumb on the HOT RIM of the heater. Beware of using the cheap propane bottles that have a glued plastic bottom. The Heater Base falls off easily when the base comes unglued. Invest in some steel bottom bottles and refill them!

Probably could but the bottom has ridges in it, probably for better heat flow, so it would be uneven. Bottom not solid but certainly thick enough.

it probably would work with the dual elements. positioning the heater to the required location could add a challenge

Sure - should not be a problem. Put in low enough to provide sufficient heat. A higher install expands the area but with less heat.Tommy

I don't think that would work. The housing is just large enough to allow adequate ventilation around the bulb. Maybe 3/16" clearance all around. The heat lamp bulb doesn't direct heat like a light bulb directs light. It tends to radiate in all directions after it exits the fixture.Hope this helps.

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

Yes just be aware of what else maybe drawing off the circuit you are looking to add the heater to. Requests a dedicated circuit.

This heater is designed to be hardwired, you cannot plug this heater in. Out of the box it is shipped to be recessed into a standard 2"X4" wall cavity. I believe there is a accessory piece that you purchase separately to surface mount this heater.

There is a place for the electric cord to fit through the Kitty Tube although I haven't used it. I would ask the company directly to see what they would use for a heating pad.

There is a vent in the rear so I would't put it against the wall. I have 2 of these heaters and use both so their is a least a foot of clearance on all sides.

This is not the type of heater that should be buried. It sticks to the side of the tank and doesn't take up much room.

I would not. It states that the heater needs to be mounted on a wall (vertical). The heater generates convection currents to remove some of the heat. If you take that away the unit could overheat.

The hole is 1 7/8. Be careful if you're connecting it to an outlet on the inside that you offset then hole and the outlet itself. they will not fit if they are back to back. I use this for a dedicated heater connection.

You would have to check with 3m the manufacturer. We used it on a exhaust pipe from a heater.

I don't see why it could not be. The whole thing is submersible, so as long as you got enough cord to go out of the tank you can mount it any way you like. It is a nice small heater, I use it in a five gallon fluvle Che. Plus the lowest temp on it is 70°.
